Head Trauma, Reebok Has a Solution! CheckLight

From Engadget

At CES 2013, mc10 and Reebok revealed the Checklight, a product built to help protect athletes who play football, hockey and other impact sports. Today, you can purchase one of your very own in men's, women's or children's sizes for $149.99 from Reebok's website. For your money, you get the sensor strip, a skull cap to keep it snug on your noggin and a micro-USB charger to keep it powered up.

For those who've forgotten, the Checklight's a head impact indicator powered bymc10's flexible electronics technology that gives athletes and medical personnel simple, actionable information about impacts to the wearer's head. It's not a concussion detector, per se, but it does provide information about the location, number and intensity of impacts to your dome -- so it's a valuable tool that can help identify those in danger and keep them out of harm's way. Well worth $150, we'd say.

Used in conjunction with the four included training apps – including one allowing head-to-head competition against anyone, anywhere also using the technology – 94Fifty provides players instant feedback and hard data, allowing information to be processed in real time, facilitating faster improvement.

The basic philosophy is simple: That which gets measured can be improved, and too many aspects of training in basketball aren’t measured. A coach can call a jump shot “too flat,” lacking the proper arc to go in consistently, but that language is imprecise. Instead, the ball will communicate the exact angle of a shot to a smart phone and tablet. If 45% is what a player needs, he’ll quickly learn what that looks and feels like coming out of his hand.

2013 Outdoor Must Haves!

Coffee is definitely a luxury at the campsite, but nothing will put more pep in your step than a tin cup full of java before you hit the trail. For the longest time, this meant packing along a sandwich baggy full of grounds and a couple filters and brewing it like a hobo, but this nifty little gizmo from Handpresso changes all that. Using a pre-pressed coffee packets and a hand pump to get the right water pressure, the Wild Hybrid is undoubtedly the most portable espresso machine we’ve ever encountered
.

There’s something to be said for completely unplugging every so often, and even though high-tech gizmos definitely aren’t necessary for getting out and enjoying nature, we here at DT we know from experience that the right assortment of tech gear can make outdoor excursions simpler, safer, and more fun. These days more and more companies are making gear that’s designed to withstand the elements, so we’ve rounded up our favorites and put together this definitive guide to the best summer outdoor gear.

Ringtool at werd.com

Ringtool is designed to provide maximum functionality with minimal form. It's manufactured in the same hardened and tempered stainless steel Leatherman uses on its multitools so is durable and strong enough to last several lifetimes despite being virtually weightless. It can be kept on a keyring for bike adjustments, assembling furniture, adjusting snowboard bindings, opening that ritual end-of-the-day-beer, and other miscellaneous daily needs. It’s easy to use too, much like the turning of a door key, between the thumb and bent forefinger. To be clear, this tool is not meant to replace more serious tools but rather to be readily available in the case of emergency or spontaneous need. 

I am an industrial designer with several years of industry experience bringing good ideas to life. I’ve worked alongside manufacturers and engineers to take countless products to market, from with conceptual sketches to production part. In addition to experiences of my own long-distance bike touring and cycling within the city, Ringtool was the product of countless conversations and testing with cyclists, mechanics, architects, designers, and material experts. I have quotes from two foundries located in here in northeastern USA for both tooling and prices per part so all I need now is your help with the funding to be able to pull the trigger for the first batch.

If this campaign is a success and you receive the tool I would love to hear your feedback and will try my best to incorporate any changes you think might make the product even better in the next version. I am deeply appreciative for your considering to support making this long time dream of mine a reality.

Simple Phone Sleeve, RichWorks

These cell phone sleeves are just plain beautiful. So beautiful in fact, it might take you a little longer to answer your phone or respond to that text. But does that really matter when your device travels in this much style? Didn't think so.

From Even Rich, Founder RichWorks

It’s been something of a dream or goal of mine to create and manage my own brand with its own products, to start something and just see what happens without much of a destination. It’s the kind of thing that lingers in the back of your mind for a while and you just let it marinate until you think it's ready. Well some time in the spring of 2013 it felt ready.

I purchased a new phone and obviously wanted to protect it, but I’ve always hated bulky hard cases and those wimpy snap on things that don’t offer any protection. As someone who takes care of my phone, I really didn’t need a bombproof case that turns your phone into the size of an early 90’s cell phone. Being someone who always wants something that no one else has, I figured I could whip something up.

I’ve always been into soft-goods and learned to sew pretty well in college so I took some left over nylon fabric I had and started sewing up some sleeve-like covers. Turns out they came out pretty cool so I ordered some more fabric in a few color ways and kept refining my design. When I presented my cell phone sleeves to friends and family, some of them loved it and just “got it” but others admitted being reluctant to using it because it wasn’t enough protection. A few people said the cell phone sleeve might not work for everyone but the same product intended for tablets and laptops would make a lot of sense. Obviously I expanded the lineup.

I hope to be able to expand the brand with all types of products. I’ve got a lot of diverse passions and different ideas for products that I’d love to be able to make and sell for people. RichWorks isn’t just about selling one type product or good; it’s really just a means to spread my idea’s to whoever cares to listen.

Thanks for checking out RichWorks and I hope you will spread the word about us If you appreciate our products!

Adidas is spring loaded!

From Fast Co.
It wasn’t until James Carnes saw a rough sketch of a strange running shoe--the sole dotted with rounded, angled blades--that he thought the concept would actually work. “We’re taking a rigid and stiff material and making it look soft and elegant,” says Carnes, the head of global design for Adidas. “That’s hard. This was something we always wanted but didn’t think we could get.”

Hands-On With The Omega Seamaster Bullhead (Live Pics Pricing) — HODINKEE - Wristwatch News, Reviews, & Original Stories

If you like watches and you are a Omega enthusiast, the Bullhead is for you.

The late 60s were an exciting time for Omega. The Constellation line was in full stride, the Speedmaster was heading into space, and the Seamaster Bullhead was finding love in a growing sea of sporty chronograph fans. More than 40 years later, the Speedmaster is still on top of its game and the Constellation is… well it's still here (though a far cry from the 561s of the 60s). The Bullhead however, was been but a faint memory, only discussed within the nerdiest of WIS circles (you know who you are). That's about to change though, thanks to a faithful re-issue of the 1969 Bullhead Chronograph unveiled in Basel just a few weeks ago.
